3 What we will cover i. Basics of blended learning ii. Blended learning in public health education iii. Our study of public health educators in higher education iv. Wrap-up

4 Part I: Basics of Blended Learning ► “Blended learning refers to events that combine aspects of online and face-to-face instruction” (Rooney, 2003, p. 26; Ward & LaBranche, 2003, p. 22)

5 Historical Emergence of Fully Online and Blended (Graham, 2006)

6 The Sloan Consortium (2003). Sizing the Opportunity: The Quality and Extent of Online Education in the U.S., 2002 and 2003 http://www.sloan-c.org/resources/sizing_opportunity.pdf

7 Models of Blending Blending occurs at the following four levels: Institutional Level Program Level Course Level Activity Level Instructor stakeholders Administrator stakeholders

8 Fully Online and Blended Learning Advantages 1. Increased Learning 2. More effective pedagogy and interaction 3. Course access at one’s convenience and flexible completion 4. Reduction in physical class or space needs, commuting, parking 5. Increased opportunities for human interaction, communication, & contact among students 6. Introverts participate more

9 Part II: Blended learning in public health education  Current examples ….

10 Blended learning Ex 1: Health- related news

11 Blended learning Ex 2: Online Public Health Surveys

12 Blended Learning Ex 3: Accredited Distance Learning Courses and Programs

13 Blended Learning Ex 4: Webcasts, podcasts, and videostreams

14 Blended Learning Ex 5: Online open education Resources

15 Blended Learning Ex 6: OpenCourseWare Public Health Examples

16 Blended Learning Ex 7: Open access library resources

17 Blended learning Ex 8: E-books and other virtual documents

18 Blended Learning Ex 9: Health- related simulations

19 Blended learning Ex 10: Educational simulations and role-play U.N. Food Force, called the first humanitarian game, simulates problems of getting supplies to wartime refugees. Terrorist Bus Bombing is a virtual- reality tool to help psychotherapists treat survivors of actual terrorist attacks.

20 Blended Learning Ex 11: Exploring virtual worlds (ex. Second Life)

21 Blended Learning Ex 12: Procedure Games

22 Blended Learning Ex 13: Public health portals for supplemental educational or training activities

23 Part III: A Study of Public Health Educators ► The purpose of this study was to examine public health educators’ perceptions about current and future trends in blended learning.

24 Research online learning in public health education ► Online learning supports the exchange of communication between students and faculty (according to J. McKimm, C. Jollie, and P. Cantillon, 2003). ► Online learners retained twice as much knowledge as classroom learners (according to study by C. M. Schart and J. Garrison, 2002). ► RNs using a web-based course found the experience meaningful and more convenient (according to study by L. Atack and J. Rankin, 2002).

25 Method ► This study was conducted via an online survey service, SurveyShare. ► A nationwide random sample of Public Health educators was surveyed.

26 Instrument ► An online questionnaire was developed consisting of three categories: 1.Demographic information 2.Current status of online learning at respondents’ organizations 3.Predictions about online teaching and learning in public health education

27 Data Collection and Analysis ► Invitation was sent by e-mail to the sample of public health educators. ► 51 individuals completed the confidential survey. ► Descriptive data analysis was conducted using the data analysis tool provided on the online site.

28 Demographics ► Nationwide survey ► Gender  51% were female  49% were male ► Experience of integrating technology tools  24% had 3-5 years  37% had 6-10 years  27% had more than 10 years ► Required training for online courses  47% yes  53% no ► Department offers fully online courses  82% yes  18% no

29 Experience with Technology ► How much experience do you have in teaching blended learning courses?

30 Organization teaching online?

31 Unique Partnerships?

32 Is instructor training needed?

49 Implications 1.Blended learning will grow more than fully online. 2.Online learning resources benefit public health. 3.Online learning develops student collab/eval skills. 4.Improving online lrng requires address pedagogy a.Collaboration; PBL; Case learning 5.Our data indicates necessary training support: b.Workshops; Courses; Degree programs 6.Technology interests and use is growing: c.Wireless technologies; Simulations

50 Limitations of the Research ► Only university faculty were surveyed ► Students were not surveyed ► Small sample size

51 Recommendations for further Research ► Follow up studies should investigate:  Types of blended learning  Success of blended learning  Instructor training
